  1. RIAA? on Ask Singer Janis Ian About the RIAA and Online Music · · Score: 0

    As an artist, do you ever have contact with the RIAA? Or do you only have a relationship with the record company (sony, rca, etc) with which you're in negotiations?

  2. "Wrongful impairment" on MPAA Requests Immunity to Commit Cyber-Crimes · · Score: 0

    1) Copyright "Holders" can cause up to $50 in damage
    2) This is after filing a notice 7 days in advance that must not be made public: Information contained in any notification under subsection 13 (c)(1)(A) may not be made available to the public under 14 section 552 of title 5. 15
    3) If your files or network is impaired, and you lose over $250 in damages, you can file a claim with the justice department against your attacker

    You are never notified that you are being attacked or that your rights have been violated. Just whom, may I ask, are you supposed to file a claim against?

    And since 'economic loss' means monitory costs only lost productivity won't be covered.

    The end is coming.

  3. Same Song, Second Verse on Myths about Internet growth · · Score: 0
    Companies such as Global Crossing and Qwest soon resorted to "hollow swaps" and other dubious tricks to boost sales and traffic figures.
    This is the same scam the energy companies were pulling with the CA outages - faking demand across networks. I predict some major bankruptcies will follow in telcom and energy.
  4. waste of hardrive space and bandwidth on JPEG Committee On The Ball, Seeks Prior Art · · Score: 0


    could save tens of thousands of bytes by using .gifs for their graphics instead

    secondhand sigs do not bring secondhand coolness (apologies to the onion)

  5. Re:where would you put the data? on The State of Remote Desktops? · · Score: 1

    If you're using micro$oft's Terminal Services, there is a completely different licensing agreement (on top of all the other agreements). Basically, it's to prevent you from having one server with one copy of word and having 30 people run it through terminal services.

    But for non-MSFT applications running on a windows server, I believe you only have to worry about concurrent connections to that server. Note that you can have "free" terminal server access to any windows server in administrative mode (one user logged in at a time). Of course, when the connection is lost it doesn't log that account off -- which you have to manually find and terminate.

    IMO, terminal services works as a work from home or sysadmin tool. But I wouldn't recommend for multiple users' applications.
